Reproduce?

enter link description here I referred to the link above, but it is still not solved.

  • Did you run the rest of the commands? Purging it (the next command) should do the trick. – mchid Apr 10 '21 at 14:48
  • and when you get to the installation command, just go ahead and add --reinstall for good measure: sudo apt install --reinstall libc-bin – mchid Apr 10 '21 at 14:49
